Welcome to CRSD! 🦅 We are Unique, 🦅 We are United, 🦅 We are Cossatot River Strong!

It is an exciting time for new and existing programs at CRSD, and band is no exception! This year, the number of beginning band participants has tripled in size! We have seen growth in the high school band as well. With the continued band program growth, students are working towards playing at basketball and football games, as well as working towards building a marching band that can attend competitions every year. CRSD recently purchased several instruments that students can use throughout the program to facilitate the growth we have seen in our band. Recently, Hal Cooper Jr., from Cooper Music, was invited to CRHS to share information for parents who might want to purchase their own instrument for the child to keep and maintain throughout the program, although a purchase is not required to participate in band. Mr. Cooper's visit provided insight on what instrument would be a good fit for students whether they use one from the school or decide to purchase one for themselves. We appreciate the visit to our school!

The junior civics students and senior American National Government students attended a Smithsonian exhibit titled Voices and Votes: Democracy in America at John Brown University today.

Cossatot River High School advanced art students learn how to use charcoal to draw a still life with visiting artist, Barbara Dubose.
